About 9 in 10 adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) aren't aware they have it. A single, free creatinine/eGFR blood test can tell you how well your kidneys are functioning — and whether you should consider possible treatment options.
Fatigue and swelling in the ankles or around the eyes
Frequent urination or foamy or dark urine
Dry, itchy skin
About 36% of people with stage 1 CKD have high blood pressure.

I had a positive experience. The technician who took my blood was nice and professional. The representative explained my test results and went in detailed what the results meant. In addition, she was eager to answer my questions.
Great, fast and friendly service. The lady who assisted me and drew my blood did an amazing job. Did not feel any pain or discomfort. Would recommend.

While symptoms may not be noticeable early on, people with CKD can develop nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue, high blood pressure, feet and ankle swelling, and more.
Creatinine is a waste product that forms in the body during normal muscle tissue breakdown. Since it's typically filtered out of the blood by the kidneys, high creatinine levels can indicate a kidney problem.
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a blood test that provides an estimate of how well the kidneys are able to filter waste and extra water from the blood. Lower eGFR can indicate a kidney problem.
It depends on your individual healthcare needs, but generally, people should get this test done once a year. People with CKD risk factors or lower eGFR results may be recommended to test every 3-6 months.
Normal eGFR results are 90 or higher, while results between 60-89 may indicate early-stage kidney disease, and results between 15-59 may mean kidney disease.
Normal creatinine results are 07-1.3 mg/dL for men and 0.6-1.1 mg/dL for women. Higher levels can indicate kidney problems.
A health screening is a medical assessment that can help people identify possible health issues or risk factors. Often, they can support early action to prevent health conditions from worsening. Health screenings often feature a variety of tests, including cholesterol, blood sugar, kidney function, and more.
